The article is long enough. The hook is not too long. qpq done. The image is free, used in the article and show up well at small size. I am uncertain if the hook is directly supported with the source which says that this song was "the most sensual poem he had yet created". I am not native speaker of English so I apologize if I am wrong. Does word "yet" mean "until then"?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 08:23, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Antidiskriminator thanks for the review. You are right that "yet" means "until then". How about ALT1... that "Meeting at Night" has been described as the most sensual poem Robert Browning (pictured) has written for Elizabeth Barrett? Solomon 7968 12:52, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I am maybe exaggerating with this because I don't know much about this topic but I guess that if this was the most sensual poem Browning ever wrote the source would most likely say so. "Yet" maybe even indicate that it wasn't? I would not be surprised because from little what I've just read in article about her, I could imagine that she was quite inspiring. In that case ALT1 does not resolve this issue because Browning probably wrote more sensual poetry after Night poem in 1845. Maybe it is better to hint that with the following quote (this is really challenging for my English language skills so please carefully check the wording):
ALT2: ... that in 1845 Robert Browning (pictured) met Elizabeth Barrett and wrote "Meeting at Night", the most sensual poem he has ever written before? --Antidiskriminator (talk) 14:53, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

I was struggling to think of such a hook (BTW, I am also not native speaker of English) but the ALT2 sums it up well. I am fine with it. Solomon 7968 15:47, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. ALT2 hook is not too long (140 characters) and contains assertion directly supported by the source. AGF on couple of offline sources. Since both nominator and reviewer are not native English speakers additional check of the text of the article and hook would be appreciated. OK for ALT2.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 18:28, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
